August 15, 2008 - Martin Harrison - Why Buy a DECT phone?

At home both in a domestic environment and in the workplace, DECT phones utilise the most up-to-date digital technology and offer crystal-clear sound quality alongside a whole host of additional benefits.

With DECT phones, you have the freedom to have phone conversations, free from the confines of wires. Some handsets allow you to talk as far as 300 metres away from the base unit, be it upstairs, in the kitchen or in the garden.

In an office environment, many businesses find DECT phones useful as they allow colleagues to constantly stay in touch, even when they are away from their desks. Calls between 2 handsets on the same line are also free, making it an extremely attractive proposition for organisations who rely on frequent phone calls.

The beauty of employing a DECT phone system is that you can expand it as and when your needs dictate. Simply purchase additional handsets to connect more users when you require them, with no extra wires, phone sockets or call charges. Battery powered handsets are charged at a base unit and can allow talk time of upto several hours on a single charge.
